Ingredients

  • 1 (18 1/4 ounce) boxduncan hines devil's food cake mix
  • 1 13 cups milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 12 cup canola oil
  • 1 (1 1/2 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix (the small box)
  • 1 (16 ounce) container white frosting
  • 34 cup peanut butter
  • 12 (1 1/2 ounce) Kit Kat bars (not snack size)
  • 1 (1 lb) bag Reese's pieces
  • autumn themed ribbon

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • To make the cake:.
  • In a large bowl, combine the Duncan Hine's cake mix, milk, eggs, canola oil and chocolate pudding mix .
  • Mix until everything is moist and then mix on Medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Divide cake mix evenly between two 9" greased round cake pans.
  • Bake for 28-31 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in pans for 5 minutes then remove cakes and cool completely on wire rack.
  • To make the icing:
  • Spoon vanilla icing into a bowl and add peanut butter.
  • Mix with hand mixer until combined.
  • Add more peanut butter, to taste.
  • To assemble the cake:.
  • Place one cake on whatever plate you are using to serve it and icing like normal, adding some extra on the top.
  • Place the second cake on top of the first cake.
  • Icing the second cake to create a layer cake.
  • It does not have to look pretty -- you won't see it anyway.
  • Break Kit Kats in half so that 2 bars are still stuck together.
  • You will use between 10 and 12 (4 packs) of Kit Kats depending on the size of your cake.
  • Spread some icing on the back of each Kit Kat section and begin placing them around the cake (vertically and right next to each other).
  • It will begin to resemble a fence going around the cake.
  • When you've gone the whole way around, tie the Autumn themed ribbon around the cake to keep the Kit Kats in place.
  • Fill the top of the cake with Reese's Pieces (you will probably use a whole bag).
  • Cover and refrigerate or serve immediately.
  • You can also use different cake and icing combinations or top it with seasonal or regular M&M's to fit any occasion.
  • Coordinate ribbon to match!
